Wherever Thy Passion Lie, There May The Niche Be
You want to start an online business, but you first need to know what the niche for your business is.
What is a niche? Let me define the word niche first.
According to the dictionary, a niche is:
A situation or activity specially suited to a person’s
interests, abilities, or nature: found her niche in life.
A niche is best when you have a passion for it, a true love or skill in that particular area of expertise.
The niche in business is therefore a specific area of expertise that you’re either interested in, good at or best suited for.
Now, once you assess yourself and your abilities, then you’re ready for some niche marketing.
The first thing to do when you find the niche you’re going to use in your business is to research it.
Go to Google’s Keyword Search Tool to see of there are enough searches to justify building a business around the niche.
If that keyword generates at least 15,000 monthly searches, then you’ve got a good enough niche market in which to work the niche to.
A short, catchy domain for the niche should be next. It’s best that you get a .com domain if possible. If you can’t, then try a different domain name. The domains .net and .org also works well, but not like the .com domain.
Now you’re ready for your niche website. It’s your choice to start either a blog or a website.
A blog provides a place where readers may comment, allowing for a conversation to take place.
A website presents information, much like a blog, but has no place for active comments. If an email is given, then your readers can give feedback, but it’s not live, nor is it available for other readers to see.
Whatever your decision, fashion your marketing efforts for the niche around that blog or website.
